Brother, I was driving back from Mapusa market this morning, heard this young lad’s father on the radio talking about selling his ancestral plot in Porvorim to keep his son in European Formula 4. Made me think of the tiffin I pack for my sister every day—daal-rice with a lime wedge, nothing fancy—because every fifty rupees saved is one step closer to her degree.

That father selling his plot for a racing seat, while our kids skip protein for degrees — both shouldn't have to happen, saa! The system picks winners long before the land sale, and it's always the same old winners.
